Synthesis of pyranicin and its inhibitory action with bovine heart mitochondrial complex I

Org Lett. 2008 Mar 6;10(5):717-20. doi: 10.1021/ol702902w. Epub 2008 Feb 6.

Abstract

Total synthesis of pyranicin was achieved using Cl2Pd(CH3CN)2-catalyzed diastereoselective cyclization of the allylic ester as the key step. The inhibitory activity of this compound for mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) was slightly poorer than that of ordinary mono-THF acetogenins such as cis-solamin.
